Study of Scattering and Fluorescence of Gases in the Vacuum Ultraviolet
Abstract
Measurements of spectral absorption and photoionization cross sections of CO2, NH3, O2, COS, NO, N2, and vinyl chloride in the region 580 - 1650 A were made. A number of new Rydberg series were found and the convergence limits were compared with the photoionization values. In the study of dispersed fluorescence from molecules, particular attention was given to the emissions from CO, NH3, N2, and NO in the spectral region 1800 to 6000 A. The experimental Franck-Condon theoretical values. The excitation spectra of NO show many overlapping states. The excitation spectra of other molecules such as H2, O2, and SO2 were studied, and certain features of the emission spectra can be related to the spectral absorption. The effect of molecular collisions on the fluorescence of NO was investigated.
